Consumer Description

TWO BRAKE LINES IN BACK OF MY CAR RUSTED COMPLETELY THRU LEAVING ME WITH LITTLE BRAKE. ALSO IN 2-4-13 TWO FRONT BRAKE LINES RUSTED, ONE THRU. ALSO IN 8-7 14 I HAD TO REPLACE TWO PARKING BRAKE CABLES FROZEN UP BY RUST. ALSO IN 3-20-15 I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL AND FOOT PEDAL.THE CAR HAS ALMOST NO RUST AND THE FRAME UNDERNEATH IS FINE. ALL THESE CABLES AND LINES WERE HIDDEN WHEN I LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO BUY CAR. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE A CAR WITH SO LITTLE RUST HAVING HUGE BRAKE LINE AND CABLE PROBLEMS. IF I WAS DRIVING FAST WHEN THE REAR BRAKE LINE GAVE OUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS.IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR RUST PROOF BRAKE LINES? *TR
